They additionally combined for 20 strikeouts.
iMPACKt FRESHMEN
Freshmen Payton Green and Tommy White combined for nine runs batted in last weekend in the Pack's series against Georgia Tech. In the finale, they each hit a home run in the eighth inning to add insurance runs and help complete the series sweep.
